Well

Then

self-congratulatory nonsense as the
famous gather to applaud their seeming
greatness
you
wonder where
the real ones are
what
giant cave
hides them
as
the deathly talentless
bow to
accolades
as
the fools are
fooled
again
you
wonder where
the real ones are
if there are
real ones.
this self-congratulatory nonsense
has lasted
decades
and
with some exceptions
centuries.
this
is so dreary
is so absolutely pitiless
it
churns the gut to
powder
shackles hope
it
makes little things
like
pulling up a shade
or
putting on your shoes
or
walking out on the street
more difficult
near
damnable
as
the famous gather to
applaud their
seeming
greatness
as
the fools are
fooled
again
humanity
you sick
m*therf*cker.

Charles Bukowski

just about sums up how I feel about this situation.

Dittos. Actually, that pretty much describes the Senate in a nutshell, IMHO.

Again, we should've pulled the trigger when we had a chance on the constitutional option. I don't know why the president wouldn't knock heads and go to the matresses and get it done, because he was stronger then than he is now. Not that he's impotent, but the reality is that in a second term, any president, regardless of party, becomes more of a lame duck literally with every passing day. I know why Frist wouldn't, he has the backbone of a chocolate eclair, to steal a line from T. Roosevelt.
